News Alert: Volunteers searching for 3 missing boys in Harrison Lake area told to leave as FBI took over search there.

The only Harrison Lake I can find is the large camping/recreational area across the border in Ohio. It looks very large.

I hope dad will fess up to what really happened before those poor searchers spend days in the cold woods away from their families

Has anyone given info. to the Astros? TIA

The hospital in Ohio is only 15 miles from Morenci, Michigan.

Bixby Medical Center is in Morenci.

Adrian, Michigan appears to have at least one or two hospitals, 21 miles away.

Interesting. "Take me to Ohio." :waitasec:

When is Therapy Not Confidential?

since he is in a 'mental institution', sure hope the professionals are being used to gain info.

This also leads to another question: what physical injuries from the botched hanging did he have that required medical attention? It would seem more realistic if someone had found him hanging rather than him calling someone to take him to a hospital. MOO

Not sure. I checked but I don't see anything. The problem is there isn't enough pertinent data to compose charts. Have the children's birth dates been given yet?

We have the mother's date of birth, but of course, no place or time.

They would need the time the children were reported missing to LE.

Next news conf at 430pm.
Aeriel searches and hundreds of volunteers are out searching the woods.

Perhaps your daughter can quickly contact LE (Law Enforcement) and tell them everything she knows about him, the mother, and the 3 boys. Time is of the essence for these guys!

Sorry for the delay...my daughter is talking to some friends here where J grew up. The FBI has contacted one of them. When my daughter spoke with J he was depressed and spoke alot about his wife and their issues. I'll give her the tip line # so she can say what she knows. She thinks LE and FBI have the same info she does but I've encouraged her to call anyway. Yes, time is of the essence...Poor little guys.

 

[darlin gal]

Today search crews meet at the fire station where they are being dispatched to various locations, including places the three boys were known to play. The FBI is out in these areas searching separately and choppers are also assisting in the search.
As for the investigation by police and FBI, they're not focusing on any one person as a suspect, but they continue to question the Father, who is hospitalized with some physical injuries and to have mental evaluation.

Yes, that is a problem. Many possibilities: A botched hanging could be the result of a faulty noose; whatever he wrapped the rope (or whatever) around could have not been strong enough to support the weight and it broke; he may not have been high enough off the floor; the stool, box, etc., he was standing on wasn't kicked far enough from his feet; he could have changed his mind at the last minute and protected his neck from the rope only getting slightly injured......but how did he get down if he was hanging there?

Lots of possibilities for a hanging gone wrong, but the whole story just sounds fishy. He could have gone to the hospital to have his neck checked out and they kept him to examine his head psychologically.....or at the suggestion of LE. :waitasec:

Does anyone know if the 4:30 news cast will be streamed online anywhere?

 

[peeples]

Does anyone have a link to the scanner thread??? I cannot find it
Thank you

 

[Cazzie]

scanner thread

I don't think this case has its own sc thread but you could start one.

 

[LMax]

Look in the breaking news thread downstairs and it has a link for a few scanners.

I agree there are many possibilities, but it still appears like a possible defense of him not being in his right mind, being set up. Not many seriously attempting suicide will reach out for help after the rope breaks; they'll just try again, in another manner. MOO

 

[darlin gal]

Police said Mr. Skelton, who works as a long-haul truck driver, called an acquaintance after the failed attempt and the acquaintance drove him to Fulton County Health Center in Wauseon.

[cluciano63]

Don't most hospitals keep you for a period of time after a suicide attempt anyway?

 

[tlcya]

Praying for these boys. This whole thing stinks to high heaven. I am sure that LE has his computer and knows by now if there was indeed a woman he was corresponding with. I am sure they also have the content of those communications if they exist. I hope the presser gives us an idea if we are indeed looking for a mystery woman or if we are looking for three bodies. I sincerely hope that is not the case.

All I can say is, there is hink and stink all over this one.

I noticed in that article is an inset of a screenshot of his FB page, where he asks God and Tanya to forgive him. No mention of his children.......interesting. MOO
